FAQs
What types of residential electrical services do you offer in Rockford?
We handle the full spectrum of home electrical needs, including troubleshooting and repair of outlets, switches, and fixtures; panel and service-upgrade work; indoor and outdoor lighting design and installation; ceiling-fan, EV-charger, and appliance circuits; surge protection; whole-house generator wiring; and smart-home integrations. If it involves wires and power inside or around a Rockford residence, our licensed electricians can design, install, repair, or upgrade it.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in Illinois?
Yes. Every technician who arrives at your door holds an Illinois electrical license, stays current with continuing-education requirements, and carries full liability and workers’-compensation insurance. We also conduct background checks and random drug testing. This protects you from liability and ensures your project meets or exceeds all state, county, and Rockford municipal codes.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency in Rockford?
We maintain a 24 / 7 emergency dispatch line staffed by live representatives. Because our headquarters and stocked service vans are located in central Rockford, we can usually arrive anywhere in the city limits within 60 minutes—often much sooner. Nights, weekends, and holidays are no problem; the on-call technician has the authority to make immediate repairs or perform temporary makesafe work until a full fix is scheduled.
What is involved in a whole-home electrical safety inspection?
Our safety inspection is a 30-point evaluation of your home’s electrical infrastructure. We test service entrance conductors, meter sockets, and main panels for heat and corrosion; verify proper breaker sizing and GFCI/AFCI protection; inspect bonding and grounding paths; check receptacles for correct wiring and tension; evaluate smoke and CO detectors; and review attic and crawl-space wiring for damage. You receive a digital report with photos, a code-compliance checklist, and prioritized recommendations so you know exactly what should be addressed, what is optional, and what can wait.
Do you provide upfront pricing and free estimates?
Absolutely. For most jobs we offer no-charge on-site estimates. After assessing your project, the technician presents a written, itemized quote before any work begins. Our flat-rate pricing means the amount you approve is the amount you pay—even if the task takes longer than expected. No hidden fees, trip charges, or surprises, and we stand behind every job with a satisfaction guarantee.
Can you help upgrade older Rockford homes to meet current electrical codes and energy demands?
Yes. Many houses in Rockford were built before today’s power-hungry appliances and electronics existed. We specialize in service-panel upgrades (100 A → 200 A or higher), aluminum-to-copper rewiring, dedicated circuits for HVAC and EV charging, and GFCI/AFCI protection for kitchens, baths, and bedrooms. We coordinate any required permits and City of Rockford inspections, minimize wall damage with careful fishing techniques, and ensure your electrical system is safe, code-compliant, and ready for future technology.
